Purely out of interest, discussing Microsoft/Mozilla products...

I also use my Mozilla Firefox Browser to receive, and send, my E-Mail. Unfortunately, when composing Mail, it doesn't contain the option to insert Pictures, .gif animations, etc within the Text!...
They are always sent as "Attachments".....:'(...!

For that, I have to use Outlook Express, which does include the option to "INSERT" Images within the Text, at the cursor position... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Paul..Inserting images within Text is fun... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!
